Auto Italia - September 2023

この号では

It’s a giant Alfa Romeo birthday this month: the famous Quadrifoglio badge turns 100 years old. We celebrate every Cloverleaf Alfa from 1923 right up to today’s Giulia Quadrifoglio. And our four-strong group test is a lucky charm for any Alfa fan, featuring the Alfasud Ti QV, 155 Q4, MiTo Cloverleaf and Giulia GTAm. As an Alfa bonus, we also track-test one of the most successful historic racers, a Giulietta Ti. We’ve been over to Italy to experience the new Ferrari SF90 XX – a track-focused but road-legal limited edition – as well as the new Fiat 600e and Topolino at Lingotto. We recount the never-before-told story of a one-off Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 by Fly Studio, and report on the Ferrari Cavallino Classic Modena concours event. Martin Buckley explains his fascination for the Fiat 130 Coupe and Berlina. Two extremes of road testing this month are the Abarth 500e (on UK soil for the first time) and the very last Maserati V8 ever: the Ghibli Trofeo 334. As always, we focus on the best events, too, like Viva Italia at Sywell and Goodwood Festival of Speed.
